When Your Pitch Becomes a Therapy Session... Using ChatGPT to Defend Yourself from Bad-Fit Client Prospects
In this month’s Terror Tale from Sales, Albert, a client prospect from a boutique operational excellence firm requested a discovery demo.
But instead of exploring the platform, he treated the meeting like a one-man podcast about his failed startup and complex metaphors involving dry cleaning.
